It feels like talking to a friend. I am very surprised to see a negative review, especially one that says she is difficult to work with through insurance. A few years ago my insurance couldn't figure out how to pay her properly. As I recall, she saw me for several months without receiving payment from my insurance while they were working out their issues. She also went out of her way to speak with me while I was living out of state and trying to find a new therapist. I have only good things to say about Debby's ability and how easy she is to work with.

I was referred to Debby Rosenkrantz and had heard wonderful things about her. I called and made an…read moreintake appointment for the next day. I was in a really bad place psychologically, but I was thrilled and hopeful about having a therapist I'd heard such good things about. We made an appointment for the next week and appeared to plan on future treatment. However, when she found out my insurance would only cover 12 visits, she told me she would not see me again, despite my offers to pay her full fee, and that she did not like how my health care services worked. A few minutes later in another phone call, she told the person who referred me that she could not take me on, despite what she had told me at the intake. The two different stories made me feel like I was acting crazy, but I am certain of what I heard and what others reported to me. Of course, it is up to the therapist if she can work with you, but the two different stories and her willingness to plan treatment has left me absolutely baffled as to what was going on. If you are suffering from severe depression, she may not wish to treat you and may not be upfront about that. After this experience, I've given up on therapy and feel even more bereft depressed than ever. I considered this a serious lack of professionalism in her unwillingness to communicate honestly with me, or else her unwillingness to accept my out-of-pocket payment. Be very careful. I'm sure many people have had success with her, but the shame and pain that resulted from this experience for a depressed person was just terrible.

I tried to contact the supervisor over three times and did not get a call back…read more I worked with this Stephanie Wissig for over a year. I ended the relationship because of repeated boundary issues. She shared personal details about her husband, her son, her insecurities, and her travel plans while I clearly did not care. These disclosures did not support my treatment. Ethical guidelines from APA and NASW state that self disclosure should stay limited and serve the client. She also brought up her age often. She spoke about feeling older in a way that made me feel guilty for being younger, showing me her belly fat after pregnancy, which I could not relate to (I'm 28). This was not my role to manage. Therapists are expected to keep their personal insecurities separate from client work. I raised concerns during treatment. I asked her to stop laughing at my jokes after I fired her. She listened but continued. She made a joke about my shoplifting. I told her I did not find it funny. This was not respectful of my request or my history, especially when admitting and deal with something I could get criminally charged with. Almost as if she was inhibiting my behavior. She often spoke to me like a friend instead of a licensed professional. I needed structure and focus on my goals. Instead, I got casual interactions that made it hard to trust the process. I fired her for a second time after these issues continued. My experience shows a pattern of weak boundaries and poor respect for client feedback. I want other clients to know this before starting treatment.

She has changed the way that I look at life. I have seen many therapists in my life. Stephanie is the first person to make me laugh and cry all in the same session. She has pushed me out of my comfort zone in the most caring way possible. She always has my best interest in mind. I would not be able to accomplish any of the tasks that I have if it were not for her. Stephanie understands the importance of listening to her client and, more impressively, when to interject her thoughts. I don't always agree with what she is saying at that exact moment but, I always come back to the idea a day or two later to think about it more. Her suggestions are thought provoking. They challenge you to face a problem head on in ways that you would never have imagined to do before. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. She is great at getting back to you as quickly as possible when you send her a message or leave her a voicemail. I could go on and on and on about how amazing she is. I am so happy that I found her. Thank you Stephanie!!!

Their offices in Arlington are a bit of a trek for those using public transportation, but the quality of care is excellent. Some clinicians even offer nighttime appointments which help for those trying to come after work. The only con is that the offices are a bit dated and I hate calling in to an automated telephone system. They take care of all billing and are very responsive. I originally became a patient as my PCP had difficulty understanding the drug interactions of some medications. I wanted to coordinate my care so that one doc could manage my medications and therapy in one visit. Unfortunately, therapy and med management are separate visits. However, it was nice to finally have both docs under the same roof! Plus, the docs I saw weren't not only knowledgeable, but they were also kind and accommodating. Dr. Orleck (psychotherapy) is has a peaceful demeanor, and is caring and compassionate. She offers real-world advice that helps inspire and reassure you at the same time. Dr. Onofrei provides ADHD assessments via questionnaire and office visits. There were a total of 3 visits, lasting about 1hr each. Without his assessment their doctors cannot prescribe ADDHD meds. Dr. O is another kind soul who you instantly feel comfortable with. He offers 8pm appointments for those who work late. Dr. Simkowitz is very knowledgeable about drug interactions, has flexible scheduling (i.e. Early AM), and responds instantly to any email questions you may have. I felt reassured having him manage all my medications. If you're in Cambridge/Arlington area, then I'd def recommend checking out PCA.

If we can't get scheduling under control I'm not super confident in the output of putting my mental health in the hands of Psychological Care Associates. I filled out the form at the suggestion of my OBGYN, who recommended I talk with someone about a few post-partum issues that I had been having. The form was comprehensive and I was thrilled to get a call later that day! ...to my dismay, the admin who called me (who was very polite and who I enjoyed speaking with) was apologetic about not being able to work around my schedule. The rub is that they could not commit to a consistent time/day of the week for my appointments! I told them I could be flexible and available any time on Fridays or Tuesdays. When she called me back (after confirming with the director), she confirmed that they would not be able to give me consistent days/times, and couldn't even be sure they'd be able to give me enough advanced notice to make sure I could clear my work schedule! (And for what it's worth, I have a flexible work schedule with generous work from home time, and even then that was not enough.) For a practice that touts its' ability to help new mothers or working parents, this practice has shown shockingly little interest in being scheduling-friendly. On my second call, the admin was asked to refer me to their sister practice in *Lexington* - as Lexington had more availability - even though I live in Stoneham and work in Kendall Square in Cambridge and am already struggling with scheduling this appointment with any sort of week-to-week consistency, let alone tacking a 30-m drive on top of it. At the end of the call they were so unable to help me that I left with more anxiety than I started with, and I decided to look elsewhere for assistance.

She is also the most disorganized doctor I've ever dealt with. On my first visit, I filled out some questionnaire in the waiting room. By the time I got to see her, she had already lost it (at least temporarily). On my second visit, I languished in the waiting room for a SOLID HOUR after the appointment time. I asked the receptionist whether I had gotten the time right. The receptionist then scurried off to see Dr. Sherry, and I was ushered in a moment later. Ever though Sherry had my chart on her desk, she had obviously forgotten me. She then needed help from someone else to find my test results. Then, even though the information was in the test results, I had to explain to her why there was only one set instead of two. That's four separate bits of confusion out of two visits so far. My final comment will have to wait until treatment has succeeded or failed. So far, though, I can only say I'm really glad she doesn't treat me for anything urgent or life-threatening.
